Getting the namespace prefix

Getting the namespace prefix

2003-07-31 - By Nick Betteridge

Reply: 1 2 3

I'm having difficulty in trying to get the namespace prefix.

When I get the SchemaGrammar and recurse down through the model, when I get to
the simpleTypes (eg "xs:string") I can recover both the name and the namespace
of the simpleType, but I can't work out how to recover the namespace prefix.

ie
xsSimpleTypeDecl.getName() will give me "string"
xsSimpleTypeDecl.getNamespace() will give me http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema

how do I get "xs" (defined in the example below)

I would be very grateful if someone would point me in the right direction.

Many trhanks
Nick
